I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Laura Visanko for her exceptional skills and expertise as an occupational therapist, particularly in the realm of upper extremity rehabilitation. Having collaborated with Laura for nearly three decades, I can confidently attest to her remarkable dedication and proficiency in providing high-quality hand therapy.

Although I practice in El Paso, Texas, I often refer patients from Las Cruces, New Mexico, to Laura, knowing that they will receive the best possible care. Her extensive knowledge and experience have consistently led to satisfactory outcomes for our shared patients, making her my go-to hand therapist. I appreciate Laura's commitment to excellence and her unwavering pursuit of optimal results, as I do not settle for anything less than the highest standard of care.

Our professional relationship has not only been built on shared patients but also on common academic interests, particularly in managing complex cases such as scaphoid fractures. Laura is always well-informed about the latest advancements in her field, and her ability to apply this knowledge in clinical practice is truly commendable.

What sets Laura apart is her proactive approach to patient care. When she encounters challenges in making progress with a patient, she does not hesitate to reach out to me for collaboration. This willingness to seek input and explore the best treatment options speaks volumes about her dedication to her patients' well-being. I have complete confidence in her abilities, and I have never had any reservations about referring patients to her. They are guaranteed to receive not just effective therapy, but also a compassionate and focused treatment experience.

In conclusion, I highly recommend Laura Visanko as an outstanding occupational therapist. Her expertise, commitment to patient care, and collaborative spirit make her an invaluable asset to any team. Please feel free to contact me if you require any further information or specific examples of her work.

Sincerely, Miguel A. Pirela Cruz, MD, FAAOS, FACS

I hope this letter finds you well as I am writing to convey my sincere gratitude for the opportunity you have granted me to intern under your supervision. You serving as my clinical instructor has been a prodigious experience many may not have been granted.

The guidance you have provided me has been invaluable. Gaining clinical experience within the health-allied profession of occupational therapy has made me recognize that I have chosen the correct profession to pursue. The knowledge and practical experience gained in patient care, professional development and the ability to empower others are skill assets I desire to attain after the completion of my internship and still pursuing to learn working under your supervision.

The patience and expertise you have displayed in addressing injuries of the hand and therapeutic exercise always answer my inquiries and have facilitated my learning and development
